RCA mum on ‘Idol’ report
RCA Records declined to comment Tuesday on reports that “American Idol” performer Justin Guarini had been dropped by the label. The singer’s self-titled album has sold 135,000 copies since its release in June, compared with million-plus figures for his “Idol” colleagues Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson.
Guarini finished second to Clarkson last year in a viewers’ poll capping the show’s first season and co-starred with her in the movie musical “From Justin to Kelly.”
RCA’s alleged action was reported Monday by the Launch Web site, which cited anonymous sources, and then picked up by Billboard.com.
